A factory default FireBrick configuration will work with a ZTE MF823 dongle without any additional configuration
*The FireBrick will DHCP an address in the 192.168.0.x range from the ZTE dongle
*You can access the dongle's web interface via http://192.168.0.1
*There will be NAT performed by the FireBrick and then again by the dongle
*The FireBrick will give you internet access over the dongle
=ZTE MF823 and No NAT=
 
The dongle will give internet access, and the FireBrick can also be configured to use the dongle as a backup internet connection if your main connection goes down. However, when used with a Data SIM from AAISP you may want to take advantage of the static IP and routed blocks of IPv4 addresses. In these cases you don't want the dongle to do any NAT. TOTo do this, the dongle needs to be configured to be a 'modem', and then we need to do a little bit of FireBrick config.
